George O’Brien Wyndham, 3rd Earl of Egremont (1751-1837) and his Daughter Mary Wyndham, Countess of Munster (1791-1842)
Thomas Phillips·1811
Historical Context
George O'Brien Wyndham, 3rd Earl of Egremont, with his daughter Mary Wyndham, painted by Phillips in 1811, depicts the most significant artistic patron in Regency Britain. Lord Egremont housed Turner and other artists at Petworth, effectively creating an artist's community there. His portrait by Phillips captures a man whose patronage shaped the course of British Romantic landscape painting — a social reality no official commission could fully document.
